Can the president veto or rewrite laws that congress passed?
No- after a law has been passed, the President can not do anything to change it. He can sometimes get away with ordering the justice department not to enforce a law he does not like as the current president does with parts of the immigration laws and the defense of marriage act. The president can veto a proposed law (bill) and send it back to Congress to either pass it over his veto via a 2/3 majority or else re-work it into a bill he will sign.
